A  MOMENT'S  RESPITE 

ARK  TWAIN  describes  the  relief  which  comes  to  the 
cub  pilot  who  has  reached  a  dangerous  stretch  of 
the  river  when  the  pilot  comes  up  and  says:  "Let 
me  have  the  wheel.  Sonny."  For  many  years  teachers 
have  been  appealing  to  the  parents  for  better  living 
conditions  for  themselves  and  better  opportunities 
for   their   pupils.      Their   appeal   has   fallen   on   deaf 

ears.      We  have  continued  to  spend  our  money  for  that  which  is 

not  bread. 

A  widespread  idea  of  the  Christian  world  is  that  God  is  nearer 
his  people  in  times  of  calamity,  pestilence,  and  war  than  in  piping 
times  of  peace.  Perhaps  there  is  logical  ground  for  this  belief; 
in  such  times  as  these  the  thoughts  of  men  go  out  to  things  not 
transitory.  For  us  Americans,  also,  the  words  have  gone  forth: 
"When  I  begin,  I  will  also  make  an  end."  I  have  heard  the  notion 
advanced  that  God  has  had  nothing  to  do  with  this  war.      Such

wets  not  Kitchener's  view;  he  believed  that  this  war  has  come, 
perhaps  just  in  time,  to  save  some  of  our  nations  from  the  last 
fatal  sleep. 

The  alarm  clock  is  waking  some  nations;  England  has  appro- 
priated twenty-five  times  as  much  money  for  research  work, 
under  the  civil  service,  than  was  appropriated  last  year.  Let 
us  arise,  "Let  us  be  going." 

CHANGES  AT  THE  NORMAL 

Dr.  Ament  leaves  us,  this  year,  after  eleven  years  of  faithful 
service.  Our  readers  will  recognize  a  writer,  new  to  the  HERALD, 
in  the  account  of  the  Principal's  work  at  Indiana. 

The  incoming  head  of  our  school  is  John  A.  H.  Keith,  Presi- 
dent of  the  State  Normal  School  at  Oshkosh,  Wis.  We  expect 
to  give  a  biographical  account  in  our  next  issue.

THE  NORMAL  HERALD 


AUTOBIOGRAPHY  OF  A  RIVER 


Y  first  recollections,  though  very  dim.  are  quite  pleas- 
ant. I  flowed  through  a  plain  of  moderate  elevation. 
The  strata  were  nearly  horizontal,  the  climate  was 
moist,  and  the  two  shallow  lakes  through  which  I 
flowed   I   remember  quite  well. 

Have  you  not  often  read  about  those  "dear 
little  babbling  brooks,  whose  lives  are  said  to  run 
along  in  a  song"?  I  saw  that  once  in  a  book,  when  I  sent  my 
spray  near  a  little  girl  who  was  sitting  by  my  side  reading.  That 
was  when  I  was  very  young  and  inexperienced;  I  soon  found  out 
differently. 

Ours  is  a  hard  and  very  discouraging  life.  We  always  keep 
one  hope  in  view  and  that  is,  attaining  base  level.  Sometimes 
it  takes  very  long  for  one  to  reach  it.  I  was  only  50.000  years 
old  when  I  reached  it.  They  say  that  is  comparatively  young. 
My  cousin,  the  Colorado,  is  5,000  years  older  than  I  and  has  not 
nearly  reached  it  yet.  That  must  be  discouraging.  You  must 
understand  that  cutting  down  to  base  level  is  not  a  simple  matter. 
As  I  wore  through  the  rocks,  fragments  would  break  off,  and 
grinding  on  the  bottom  of  the  stream,  would  help  me  cut  my  bed. 
These  rock  fragments  wearing  on  one  another  would  form  pebbles. 

One  morning  I  awoke  to  the  fact  that  I  had  reached  grade. 
I  was  moving  my  load  over  the  lowest  slope  I  could.  I  realized 
I  was  maturing.  Slowly,  but  surely,  the  valleys  around  me  broad- 
ened, starting  near  the  mouth  and  following  upstream.  My 
beautiful  falls  wore  away  and  the  lakes  that  had  been  so  long 
the  resort  of  pleasure-seeking  humans  vanished.  I  had  many 
tributaries,  who  did  their  part  in  the  big  work  faithfully.  The 
divide  between  my  valley  and  that  of  another  river  was  well  defined. 

At  last  old  age  has  come.  The  hills  that  used  to  surround 
me  are  reduced  to  a  peneplain;    their  slopes  are  very  gentle. 

One  of  my  distant  cousins  had  to  do  all  his  work  over  again, 
because  of  an  upheaval  in  the  land.  I  hope  I  will  not  have  such 
ill  luck  as  that. 

During  my  life  I  have  had  a  good  opportunity  to  study  humans. 
Near  my  source,  where  I  was  yet  young,  a  rich  man  had  his  home.

His  beautiful  children  have  been  by  my  side  constantly,  even  in 
old  age.  As  babies  they  romped  by  my  side;  as  boys  and  girls 
they  brought  their  books  in  the  lazy  summer  days  and  studied 
near  me;  in  the  winter  they  used  my  frozen  crust  for  their  sports, 
and  so  on,  for  many  generations.  In  other  places  cities  have  grown 
up. 

And  now  I  am  living  quite  a  peaceful  life  with  many  pleasant 
memories.

DR.  AMENT'S  ADMINISTRATION 

F  the  Indiana  students  of  the  past  ten  years  were  to 
close  their  eyes  and  think  of  Dr.  Ament,  this  is  one 
of  the  pictures  which  they  would  probably  see: 
Morning  light  in  the  old  chapel;  crowded  rows  of 
students;  Miss  Leonard's  picture,  Moses  and  Euterpe 
in  the  foreground, — all  vaguely  perceived,  because  the 
Saturday  morning  speaker  holds  their  attention, 
a  man  whose  appearance  and  entire  personality  suggest  the  old 
definition  of  character — "organized  victory."  Organized  victory! 
Such  has  Dr.  Ament  been  for  Indiana,  such  has  Indiana  been 
through  him.  Some  of  those  Saturday  morning  talks  the  students 
will  remember  all  their  days.  Possibly  not  the  most  profound 
ones — for  he  is  profound  in  learning  and  thought — but  those 
homely  bits  of  advice  and  those  glowing  illustrations  which  were 
as  good  soil  for  their  daily  growth. 

"Take  a  good,  tight  rein  on  yourself  and  drive  where  you 
want  to  go." 

"You've  got  to  prove  yourself  to  people." 
"The  great  thing  that  you  should  do  in  this  life  and  that  should 
dominate  you  is  wrapped  up  in  one  word — service." 

"And,  my  friends,  upon  whom  does  the  success  of  a  school 
rest^  /  cannot  make  this  school  a  success  nor  can  the  faculty. 
Its  success  depends  upon  you!" 

Certainly  one  cause  of  his  own  success  is  revealed  in  that 
last  remark, — the  ability  to  set  others  to  work  upon  a  suggested 


THE  NORMAL  HERALD  9 

line  of  activity,  the  power  to  make  untried  young  people,  and 
sometimes  only  half-tried  older  ones,  into  reliable,  efficient  workers. 

The  casual  observer  in  judging  Dr.  Ament  would  think  most 
of  his  architectural  skill,  his  constructive  power,  his  executive 
ability,  and  his  prompt  grasp  of  a  difficult  situation.  But  to  those 
who  know  him  better  other  qualities  seem  not  less  valuable;  namely, 
his  understanding  of  and  faith  in  people,  especially  young  people; 
his  broad-minded  tolerance;  his  big-heartedness;  and  his  appre- 
ciation of  the  power  of  beautiful  surroundings  and  of  free,  joyous, 
wholesome  life  in  bringing  out  the  best  tendencies  in  character. 
Pictures,  statuary  and  rose  gardens,  good  music  and  clean  athletics, 
as  much  freedom,  as  many  happy  hours  as  are  consonant  with 
sound  intellectual  progress, — these  he  has  given  to  Indiana  stu- 
dents. He  believes  that  the  public  schools,  including  the  normal 
schools,  should  train  students  for  successful  citizenship,  and,  so 
far  as  consistent  with  the  welfare  of  all,  he  has  desired  to  give  to 
the  weakest  and  the  worst  the  best  chance  possible.  No  man  was 
ever  more  fully  convinced  of  the  dignity,  the  high  purposes,  the 
sacred  obligations  of  the  teacher.  To  him  the  normal  school, 
the  institution  for  the  professional  training  of  teachers,  is  the 
very  heart  of  the  educational  system  of  a  nation,  and  Indiana 
under  him  has  been  a  place  of  inspiration  for  young  teachers. 

His  policies  in  directing  his  faculty  have  been  broad-minded 
and  kindly,  free  from  the  deadening  influence  of  a  narrow  super- 
vision, yet  alert  to  check  mistakes  or  suggest  more  helpful  methods. 

Since  his  coming  to  Indiana  there  have  been  built  three  addi- 
tions to  the  girls'  dormitory,  two  to  the  dining  room,  one  to  the 
kitchen,  a  cold  storage  plant,  a  large  power  plant,  and  the  Ambula- 
tory about  Recreation  Hall.  About  ten  cottage  dormitories 
have  been  established.      The  enrollment  has  nearly  doubled. 

But  more  vital  than  these  material  evidences  of  his  strength 
is  the  influence  of  his  thought,  his  nobility,  his  truth  upon  the 
souls  and  lives  of  hundreds  of  students  and  co-workers.  It  will 
not  end  with  this  year  nor  the  next.

ART  NOTES 

Miss  Alpha  Weamer,  who  has  been  teaching  in  Porto  Rico  for 
the  last  year,  writes  us  the  following  interesting  letter. 


Naguabo.  Porto  Rico, 

February  4,  1917. 
NOWING  that  you  will  be  interested  in  learning  how 
1    spent   the  holidays   this  year,    I    send   to  you   this 
brief  sketch. 

I  took  the  steamer,  "Philadelphia,"  for  a  four-days' 
trip  to  South  America.  The  vessel  always  stops 
for  a  day,  going  and  returning  in  Curacao,  a  tiny 
island,  Dutch  possession,  just  north  of  Venezuela. 
All  the  remainder  of  the  time  was  most  happily  spent  in  Venezuela. 
Christmas  morning,  "Raise  the  spar!"  "Heave  her  to  the 
side"  broke  my  peaceful  slumber.  Dressing  quickly,  I  went 
on  deck  and  was  greeted  by  a  real  Dutch  city.  We  had  anchored 
in  Curacao.  I  am  told  that  the  expression,  "spotless  country" 
of  Holland,  originated  in  this  city  and  I  can  well  believe  it,  al- 
though there  is  not  a  spot  of  grass  in  the  city. 

The  houses  and  other  buildings  are  of  Dutch  architecture 
with  red  tile  roofs  and  are  very  quaint  in  appearance.  The  streets, 
except  the  main  thoroughfare,  are  very  narrow;  in  fact,  a  woman 
who  happened  in  the  street,  when  we  were  passing  in  an  auto, 
had  to  step  into  a  house  until  we  passed.  Another  teacher  was 
taking  the  same  trip,  so  we  went  by  auto  about  ten  miles  into  the 
country  to  an  ostrich  farm,  kept  by  a  German.  This  man  explained 
the  caretaking  and  the  habits  and  strange  ways  of  these  great 
birds  and  then  took  us  to  his  home  in  a  typical  German  house 
where  they  even  served  beer  before  we  left.  Here  we  saw  the  first 
Christmas  tree.  The  Spanish  people  celebrate  the  sixth  of  Janu- 
ary, "The  Three  Kings'  Day"  and  tell  the  story  of  the  three  wise 
men  and  the  camels,  instead  of  the  story  of  Santa  Claus  and  the 
reindeer. 

Christmas  night  we  sailed  for  Venezuela  arriving  at  La  Guayra 
the  next  morning.  This  coast  is  one  of  the  two  in  America  having 
no  coastal  plain,  the  other  is  Peru.      The  houses  look  like  little 


12  THE  NORMAL  HERALD 

blocks  of  high  color,  high  upon  the  mountain  side.  The  way 
is  so  steep  that  we  wonder  how  the  people  ever  get  up  to  their 
homes. 

We  landed  about  eight  o'clock  and  spent  the  remainder  of  the 
morning  getting  through  the  customs  house.  It  was  exasperating 
to  U.  S.  teachers  to  spend  all  this  time  while  five  minutes  would 
have  sufficed,  especially  when  there  was  so  much  to  see  outside 
but  the  experience  was  a  good  one.  All  over  La  Guayra  we 
went,  up  and  down  the  streets  we  thought  impossible  and  saw 
more  narrow  streets,  where  people  on  opposite  sides  could  shake 
hands. 

Macuto,  the  Atlantic  City  of  Venezuela,  was  the  next  stop. 
Such  beautiful  homes  and  gardens  as  they  have  here,  I  have  never 
seen  before!  "The  Boardwalk"  has  on  the  one  side,  the  most 
beautiful  trees  and  flowers.  Here,  I  was  fortunate  chough  to 
stay  at  the  same  cottage  with  a  niece  of  the  President  of  Venezuela, 
whom  I  met  through  the  kindness  of  a  fellow  passenger.  She 
invited  me  to  her  home.  There  was  a  center  court  with  all  rooms 
opening  out  to  this  enclosed  garden.  The  bath  room  was  par- 
ticularly interesting.  The  tub  which  was  very,  very  large  and 
deep  and  sunken  to  the  level  of  the  floor,  was  made  of  clay  or 
earthen  ware  and  on  one  side — next  to  the  wall,  extended  up  with 
a  fancy  roll  all  hand  carved.  There  was  no  hot  water  but  pro- 
vision for  a  shower  bath  of  cold.  This,  I  am  told,  is  the  typical 
bathroom  of  all  Venezuela. 

Caracas  is,  of  course,  the  most  beautiful  city  in  the  country. 
The  buildings  are  large  and  in  good  taste.  Through  the  residential 
sections  the  homes  are  mansions.  Coaches  "for  hire"  lined  up 
along  the  public  places  give  the  city  a  more  foreign  appearance. 
The  hotel  where  I  stayed  was  so  different  from  any  I  had  ever 
before  seen.  The  dining-room  was  in  the  center  and  surrounding 
it  were  the  balconies  of  the  three  floors.  The  first  object  to 
attract  my  attention  on  the  plaza  was  a  great  profusion  of  real 
orchids. 

The  trips  through  the  mountains  were  beyond  my  power 
of  description.  In  one  half  day,  we  passed  through  eighty -seven 
tunnels.      The  grade  is  so  steep  in  places  that  the  train  runs  on 


THE  NORMAL  HERALD  13 

cogs.  We  were  at  the  foot  of  the  mountains  and  again  at  the  top 
even  above  the  clouds,  often  3500  feet  above  sea  level. 

We  visited  many  of  the  smaller  towns  and  could  we  have 
delayed  a  week,  might  have  witnessed  a  bull  fight  in  Caracas. 
All  through  these  sections  the  windows  are  barred,  while  the  girls 
sit  inside,  the  fellows  stand  outside  and— converse. 

The  poor  people  here  as  elsewhere  in  the  Tropics,  live  in 
wretched  conditions.  In  one  home  there  were  about  ten  children 
at  the  table  eating  with  spoons  from  dishes,  both  of  which  were 
made  from  tropical  fruits,  while  in  the  same  room  were  about  as 
many  goats — the  animals  always  living  in  the  same  room  with 
the  people.  The  houses  among  the  mountains  are  very  picturesque 
although  very  primitive,  as  are  the  ways  of  living. 

Although  the  ocean  is  unusually  rough  at  this  time  of  the 
year,  I  had  a  good  smooth  trip  and  ended  my  journey  with  a 
quarantine  of  three  days  at  San  Juan — a  requirement  applying 
to  all  people  from  Venezuelan  ports.  Here  as  on  board  vessel,  I 
had  the  first  American  cooking  I've  enjoyed  since  coming  to  the 
Island.  I  should  have  enjoyed  a  longer  stay  for  this  reason,  too, 
for  one  does  get  rather  tired  of  rice  and  beans,  the  staff  of  life  in 
Porto  Rico. 

The  sugar  centrals  or  factories  are  beginning  the  sugar  making 
as  the  cane  is  ready  for  cutting  and  there  is  always  an  odor  of 
molasses.      The  process  is   interesting. 

I  have  not  seen  Helen  Carr  as  she  is  in  a  district  very  difficult 
to  reach  from  here  and  the  modes  of  travel  are  not  good;  but  I 
occasionally  receive  a  letter  from  her,  always  telling  of  her  interest 
in  the  work. 

The  supervisor  says  some  very  encouraging  things  about 
my  work  and  has  already  promised  me  a  much  better  position 
for  next  year  but  the  decision  is  difficult  for  me  to  make.  At 
present  I  am  very  busy  learning  the  language;  for  I  speak  English 
in  the  school  room  only.  Very  few  of  the  adults  speak  English 
and  so  they  are  greatly  pleased  when  one  is  able  to  speak  Spanish. 

Very  often  I  wish  you  were  with  me  here  this  winter  plucking 
oranges,  bananas,  and  grape  fruit  from  the  trees.  Cocoanuts 
produce  the  best  milk  when  they  are  not  fully  matured.  The 
meat  is  then  very  thin  and  tender  and  has  a  very  different  flavor. 


14  THE  NORMAL  HERALD 

We  get  many  fruits  and  vegetables  here  which  are  not  usually 
sent  to  the  States,  except  to  New  York — Spanish  beans,  alligator 
pears,  the  chewing  gum  fruit,  which  looks  like  a  potato,  granadas 
and   many   others. 

There  is  so  much  to  tell  that  I  could  write  all  day  and  still 
not  tell  half;  so  the  rest  is  left  for  another  time. 

Sincerely, 

Alpha  Weamer. 

Miss  Elizabeth  Stroble,  '13,  and  Normal  Art,  'II,  completes

Designs  by  the  special  art  students  have  been  applied  to  a 
child's  stencilled  quilt — made  for  Master  Robert  W.  Bliss,  of 
Honolulu,  the  young  nephew  of  Miss  Charlotte  Stuchell. 

The  quilt  is  of  white  material  stencilled  in  blue  and  bears  the 
monogram  in  the  center,  surrounded  by  a  large  oval  of  animals- 
A  border  in  silhouette  of  the  circus  parade  completes  the  whole. 

Miss  Mary  O.  Buterbaugh,  Normal  Art  1913,  has  just  closed 
a  successful  term  as  Supervisor  of  Drawing,  at  Woodlawn,  Pa. 
Miss  B.  was  re-elected  to  the  same  position  at  a  salary  of  $1000. 

The  close  of  the  school  year  was  marked  by  the  production 
of  a  Holland  play  by  the  pupils,  while  the  scenery  was  made  and 
painted  by  the  boys  under  the  direction  of  Miss  Buterbaugh. 

Miss  Elizabeth  Stroble,  of  '13,  will  direct  summer  work  in

THE  BIRDS'  CHRISTMAS  TREE 

R.  J.  THEODORE  ARNTZ.  Professor  of  Spanish 
at  the  Pennsylvania  State  Normal  School,  Indiana. 
Pa.,  writes  of  a  very  pretty  custom  which  has  been 
followed  at  that  school  for  a  number  of  years. 

"In  this  large  school  of  over  fifteen  hundred 
students  we  have  also  a  primary  department  or 
Model  School.  The  last  afternoon  of  the  term  was 
given  up  to  the  annual  Christmas  entertainment  of  the  little 
ones.  One  of  the  features  which,  I  have  been  told,  has  been  in- 
cluded in  the  program  for  a  great  number  of  years,  consists  in  the 
Christmas  tree  for  the  birds.  On  our  northern  campus  we  have 
a  beautiful  grove  of  tall  oak  trees.  One  of  them  was  selected  by 
the  boys  of  the  5th  and  6th  grades.  Some  of  the  bigger  ones 
climbed  upon  the  lower  limbs  and  the  smaller  pupils  handed  by 
means  of  long  poles  strings  of  delicacies  for  the  feathered  flock; 
the  piece  de  resistance  was  sandwiches  of  suet  cut  to  the  proper 
bird  size.  As  we  had  a  foot  of  snow,  the  guests  were  eager  enough. 
While  the  trimming  of  the  tree  was  still  going  on,  two  nut-hatches 
came  creeping  down  the  trunk  chirping  impatiently  for  their 
annual  banquet,  to  the  immense  delight  of  the  little  children 
who  caught  their  breath  for  fear  that  they  might  frighten  them 
off.  The  usual  adornments  of  the  Christmas  tree  were  also  hung 
on.  The  pleasure  of  the  children  was  real,  and  the  impression 
left  upon  their  sensitive  minds  must  be  a  source  of  many  kind 
deeds  in  later  life."

THE  NORMAL  HERALD 


CHOOL  days  at  the  Indiana  Normal  School  were 
recalled  on  the  evening  of  April  21,  at  the  fifth  annual 
banquet  of  the  Allegheny  County  Alumni  Associa- 
tion held  in  the  ball  room  of  the  William  Penn  hotel. 
The  attendance  was  three  hundred  and  fifty,  and  the 
function  was  one  of  the  most  successful  held  by  the 
organization.  That  it  should  have  been  such  a 
fine  success  at  this  time  when  the  public  mind  of  Normal  School 
people  is  so  strongly  diverted  toward  the  crisis  now  occupying 
the  thought  of  the  country  was  largely  due  to  the  enthusiasm 
of  the  alumni  of  course,  but  markedly  so  to  the  devotion,  intelli- 
gence and  energy  of  the  banquet  committee. 

The  event  was  in  the  nature  of  a  farewell  reception  for  the 
retiring  principal,  Dr.  James  E.  Ament,  who  was  lauded  for  the 
work  he  had  accomplished  at  Indiana  during  the  twelve  years  of 
his  administration,  and  a  welcome  to  the  principal-elect.  Dr. 
John  A.  H.  Keith,  of  Oshkosh,  Wis.,  who  made  his  first  appear- 
ance before  Indiana  graduates  and  was  assured  of  their  earnest 
support  in  the  years  to  come.  Miss  Jane  E.  Leonard,  preceptress 
of  the  school  since  its  organization  in  1875,  was  the  third  guest 
of  honor.  Brief  addresses  were  made  by  Dr.  Keith,  Dr.  Ament, 
Miss  Leonard,  J.  Wood  Clark,  Senator  J.  S.  Fisher,  Binnie  Mc- 


THE  NORMAL  HERALD  17 

Connaughey,  Arthur  W.  Wilson  and  others.  The  invocation  was 
deHvered  by  Rev.  Dr.  W.  J.  Wishart,  pastor  of  the  Eighth  United 
Presbyterian  Church,  Northside. 

Music  was  furnished  both  by  an  orchestra  and  Normal  talent. 
Prof.  Orley  See,  violinist  of  the  Musical  faculty  of  the  school,  and 
Mrs.  Rexford  D.  Colburn,  soprano,  appeared  in  musical  numbers. 
Prof.  R.  D.  Colburn  led  the  assembly  in  singing  "The  Star-Spangled 
Banner,"  "Alma  Mater"  and  other  numbers. 

The  following  menu  was  served: 

Stuffed  Tomatoes 

Cream  of  Asparagus  Soup 

One-half  Roast  Stuffed  Chicken 

Peas  Potatoes  au  Gratin 

Salade,  French  Dressing 

Fancy  Ice  Cream  Cake 

Cafe 

The  organization  elected  the  following  officers:  President, 
J.  M.  Berkey,  '78;  vice-president,  Wilmer  Brickley,  '16;  secretary, 
Edna  Heck,   '02,   and   treasurer,   Sara  Wright,   '04. 

The  meeting  was  a  delightful,  informal  affair,  and  the  guests 
held  re-unions,  and  talked  over  events  with  great  pleasure.  A 
reception  and  dance  concluded  the  evening's  program. 

One  of  our  early  students,  Caroline  S.  Gwinn,  Mrs.  H.  D. 
Blatchley,  of  Caldwell,  Idaho,  we  sometimes  hear  from,  and  always 
in  connection  with  some  generous  thought  or  deed.  Her  open- 
hearted  hospitality,  her  bright  spirit  and  kind  messages  show  her 
to  be  the  same  Carrie  Gwinn  that  used  to  laugh  and  talk  and 
sometimes  study  in  "  Hoe-your-own-row "  in  that  far-away  time, 
1877.     And  now  from  an  Idaho  paper  we  take  the  following: 

"That  the  Blatchleys  have  always  been  sincere  friends  of  the 
College  of  Idaho,  we  have  always  known.  On  Christmas  day 
this  institution  learned  again  of  the  interest  that  these  people 
take  in  the  future  welfare  of  the  C.  of  I.  The  gift  was  the  Blatchley 
home  and  two  small  pieces  of  land  adjoining  the  campus. 

"It  is  difficult  to  set  the  va'ue  of  such  a  gift  in  money  for  it  in- 


18  THE  NORMAL  HERALD 

dicates  a  spirit  that  is  much  more  valuable  than  the  gift  itself. 
However,  the  actual  value  of  the  property  that  was  transferred 
was  not  less  than  $15,000.  The  only  stipulation  in  regard  to  the 
gift  was  that  they  should  be  permitted  to  occupy  it  for  a  time  as 
their  home.  But  in  the  future,  Blatchley  Hall  will  be  the  home 
of  the  president. 

"The  building  is  of  massive  architecture,  and  up-to-date  and 
modern  in  every  respect.  Because  of  its  position  and  beauty,  the 
building  fits  in  well  with  the  architectural  scheme  of  the  campus. 
We  now  have  four  College  halls  on  the  grounds. 

"Mr.  and  Mrs.  Blatchley  have  always  taken  a  great  interest 
in  the  College  and  gave  the  land  on  which  the  other  buildings 
now  stand.  Mr.  Blatchley  has  served  for  a  long  time  as  one  of 
the  trustees  of  the  school,  and  Mrs.  Blatchley  is  head  of  the  art 
department. 

"The  board  of  trustees  of  the  College  named  a  committee  to 
draw  up  a  resolution  of  thanks  to  the  donors. 

"As  long  as  the  College  of  Idaho  can  number  among  its  friends 
such  splendid  and  sacrificing  givers  as  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Blatchley 
we  feel  sure  that  the  institution  will  prosper.  Friends  that  stick 
to  you  through  thick  and  thin  are  the  ones  that  count.  The 
Blatchleys  are  that  kind." 

Helen  S.  Carr,  a  graduate  in  the  Art  Department  1915,  is 
teaching  in  Porto  Rico,  and  is  delighted  with  her  work  there. 
She  is  located  in  the  beautiful  town  of  Lares,  situated  in  the  moun- 
tains a  thousand  feet  above  sea-level.  Lares  is  a  wealthy  coffee 
town  containing  besides  Miss  Carr  five  other  Americans. 

Zita  King,  '11,  and  Edith  Rees,  '00,  like  many  of  our  students 
last  summer,  did  university  work.  These  two  girls  chose  Wis- 
consin. The  teachers  in  the  public  schools  of  the  State  were  late 
in  beginning  their  work  last  fall,  and  this  holds  them  back  from 
attending  the  Normal  schools  this  summer.  For  this  reason 
we  doubt  not  that  the  universities  whose  summer  sessions  begin 
about  the  first  of  July  will  see  even  more  of  them  than  usual.

DEATHS 


HE  hand  of  death  has  again  touched  our  first  Indiana 
graduating  class,  '76.  There  were  four  members  only 
in  that  class,  and  there  remains  now  but  one.  Hiram 
Smith,  Loveland,  Colo.  The  man  of  that  class  of 
most  scholarly  attainments  and  one  who  came  most 
often  to  see  us  bringing  back  with  him  love  and 
memory  of  the  old  days  was  Irwin  Pounds  McCurdy, 
whose  death  took  place  at  his  home  in  Jeannette,  Pa.,  Tuesday 
afternoon,  December  26,  1917.  Dr.  McCurdy  was  born  and 
reared  on  a  farm  in  Derry  township,  Westmoreland  county.  After 
leaving  Indiana,  he  graduated  at  Lafayette  College,  Easton,  Pa., 
and  then  took  a  full  theological  course  at  Princeton  Seminary. 
Following  his  ordination  as  a  minister.  Dr.  McCurdy  served  as 
pastor  of  the  First  Presbyterian  Church,  Philadelphia;  Fifth 
Presbyterian  Church,  Kansas  City,  Mo.,  and  the  First  Presby- 
terian Church,  Lansford,  Pa.  He  was  lecturer  on  science  and 
religion  at  the  Temple  University,  Philadelphia. 

Dr.  McCurdy  married  Miss  Rachel  Long  Ewing,  of  Irwin, 
who  survives  him  with  the  following  three  sons  and  six  daughters: 
Irwin  P.,  Philadelphia;  Willis  E.,  New  York  City,  and  Joseph  A., 
Jeannette;  Mrs.  Mildred  Elrick,  Jeannette;  Miss  Mabel  R.,  Miss 
Alice  W.,  Miss  Edna  E.,  Miss  Evelyn  K.,  and  Miss  Rajeana  L. 
McCurdy  at  home. 

Irwin  McCurdy  was  fond  of  learning  and  was  a  student  his 
life  long,  as  the  following  honors  conferred  upon  him  by  different 
institutions  of  learning  will  attest,  D.  D.,  Litt.  D.,  LL.D.,  D.  C.  L. 
In  the  death  of  Mr.  McCurdy  the  Normal  School  sustains 
the  loss  of  an  alumnus  of  high  character  and  wide  connections 
among  people  who  shared  with  him  a  deep  interest  in  Indiana. 

It  is  with  unusual  pain  that  the  HERALD  has  to  report  the 
death  of  I.  O.  Nissley,  '79,  which  took  place  on  Thursday  evening 
about  nine  o'clock,  March  8,  1917,  at  his  home  in  Middletown, 
Pa.  Mr.  Nissley 's  death  was  so  sudden  as  to  leave  his  family, 
the  employees  of  his  newspaper  office,  his  friends,  and  the  entire 
community  almost  dumfounded.       In  the  evening  of  the  day  of 


24  THE  NORMAL  HERALD 

his  death  he  was  about  as  usual,  but  at  eight-thirty  was  seized 
with  severe  pains.  A  physician  was  summoned,  who  prescribed 
for  him  and  reHeved  him,  and  he  fell  into  a  doze  upon  the  couch 
in  the  living-room.  A  few  minutes  later,  Mrs.  Nissley,  who  sat 
close  by,  noticed  him  draw  several  long  breaths;  going  to  his  side 
she  attempted  to  arouse  him,  but  peacefully  he  had  slipped  into 
glory. 

Mr.  Nissley  was  sixty-three  years  old.  He  became  owner 
and  editor  of  the  Middletown  Press  in  1882,  and  was  still  its  editor 
and  owner  when  he  died  thirty-five  years  later.  His  paper  like 
his  character  was  a  widely  extended  influence  for  righteousness. 
A  man  once  offered  him  any  price  to  run  his  advertisement,  but  Mr. 
Nissley  discovering  that  the  advertisement  was  a  fake  said  "You 
do  not  have  money  enough  to  buy  a  line  in  my  paper  for  your  'Ad.' " 
With  this  remark  the  man  was  peremptorily  dismissed.  No 
liquor  or  cigarette  advertisements  were  ever  found  in  the  columns 
of  his  paper.  He  had  the  faculty  of  seeing  the  funny  things  in 
life.  He  was  a  delightful  companion  as  well  as  a  warm  friend.  Dur- 
ing his  long  and  busy  career  as  an  editor  he  in  company  with  his 
devoted  wife  at  various  times  traveled  over  many  portions  of  the 
United  States  and  Canada,  and  twice  they  traveled  in  foreign 
countries,  the  last  time  to  the  Holy  Land.  His  charmingly  written 
letters  of  his  travels  were  published  in  book  form,  and  it  was  a 
source  of  great  pleasure  to  him  that  they  were  read  in  the  public 
schools  to  the  scholars  as  an  example  of  fine  and  pure  English 
as  well  as  simple  and  excellent  description.  He  was  one  of  the 
most  lovable  of  men.  He  never  forgot  a  friend,  and  he  had  hosts 
of  them  extending  from  people  of  the  highest  rank  in  life  to  the 
most  lowly.  From  people  in  need  or  distress  he  never  turned 
away,  and  his  abundant  charities  were  so  quietly  and  unostenta- 
tiously done  that  the  Scriptural  injunction  "Let  not  thy  right 
hand  know  what  the  left  doeth"  was  fulfilled.  He  was  on  the 
board  of  managers  of  two  different  orphan  homes,  the  Loysville 
Orphan  Home  and  the  Fry  Board  in  Middletown. 

He  was  all  his  lifetime  a  beautiful  singer,  and  this  with  his 
deep  religious  experience  made  him  a  power  in  the  Church  and 
Sunday-school.  For  twenty-eight  years  up  to  the  time  of  his 
death   he   held   the   office   of   Sunday-school   Superintendent.       In. 


THE  NORMAL  HERALD  25 

ninety-eight  years  that  Sunday-school  at  Middletown  has  had 
but  four  superintendents.  One  asks  in  grief  and  wonder  "Where 
can  be  found  I.  O.  Nissley's  successor?" 

It  is  with  profound  regret  that  word  was  received  at  Indiana 
of  the  death  on  January  2,  1917,  of  the  Rev.  William  Jack,  Ph.D.. 
'87,  pastor  of  the  First  Presbyterian  Church  at  Schaller,  Iowa. 
The  doctor  had  been  suffering  from  a  heavy  cold  for  sometime, 
and  about  nine  days  previous  to  his  death,  pneumonia  set  in,  and 
in  spite  of  his  rugged  physique,  the  physicians  found  themselves 
helpless  in  the  face  of  this  formidable  disease. 

After  graduating  at  our  Normal  School,  Dr.  Jack  completed 
the  college  course  at  Lafayette  College  in  1892,  then  went  to 
Princeton  Theological  Seminary,  from  which  he  graduated  in  the 
class  of  1895. 

While  at  the  Seminary  he  won  the  Hebrew  Scholarship, 
entitling  him  to  two  years'  graduate  study  abroad.  In  the  enjoy- 
ment of  that  fellowship  he  attended  the  University  of  Leipsic. 
Here,  after  four  years  of  study,  he  received  the  degree  of  doctor 
of  philosophy.  Returning  to  America  he  was  ordained  in  1901 
and  held  pastorates  in  Pennsylvania  and  New  York  states.  During 
this  period  he  spent  a  year  abroad  in  further  study  at  Edinburgh 
and  Paris.  During  the  year  1911-12  he  held  a  scholarship  at 
Cornell  University.  In  June  1912  he  came  to  Schaller,  Iowa,  as  a 
supply  of  the  First  Presbyterian  church.  In  September  of  that 
same  year  he  was  united  in  marriage  to  Miss  Ina  L.  Mills,  of 
Middletown,  New  York.  In  October  the  following  year,  he  was 
installed  as  pastor  of  the  Schaller  congregation.  Under  his  care 
the  church  has  made  substantial  progress  and  it  had  been  his 
vision  to  see  erected  a  new  church  building,  thoroughly  adapted 
to  the  needs  of  the  community.  During  his  pastorate  at  Schaller 
he  served  as  Moderator  of  the  Sioux  City  Presbytery,  and  at  the 
time  of  his  death  was  chairman  of  the  Synodical  Committee  on 
Colleges   and    Education. 

The  funeral  service  was  held  in  the  Schaller  church  on  the  after- 
noon of  Friday,  January  5.  Rev.  R.  L.  Barackman,  D.D.,  pastor 
of  the  First  Presbyterian  church  of  Thief  River  Falls,  Minnesota, 
a  seminary  classmate  of   Dr.  Jack,   presided  at   the  service  and 


26  THE  NORMAL  HERALD 

preached  the  funeral  sermon.  On  the  platform  with  him  were 
Rev.  C.  G.  Butler,  pastor  of  the  First  Presbyterian  church  of 
Sac  City  and  Rev.  R.  D.  Echlin,  D.D.,  president  of  Buena  Vista 
College,  representing  as  a  committee  the  presbytery  of  Sioux  City, 
together  with  Rev.  R.  J.  Blue,  pastor  of  the  First  Presbyterian 
church  of  Ida  Grove,  Rev.  Thomas  S.  Hughes,  pastor  of  the  First 
Presbyterian  church  of  Cleghorn,  Rev.  Daniel  Williams,  D.D., 
of  Storm  Lake,  Rev.  C.  F.  Hultz,  pastor  of  the  Schaller  Methodist 
Episcopal  church  and  Rev.  Otto  Menke,  of  the  German  Reformed 
Church  of  Schaller.  In  addition  to  the  sermon  Dr.  Echlin  spoke 
appreciatively  of  Dr.  Jack  as  a  member  of  the  Sioux  City  Pres- 
bytery. After  the  services  the  remains  were  taken  to  the  North- 
western depot  for  transportation  to  Middletown,  New  York,  where 
the  burial  will  take  place. 

In  addition  to  his  wife,  he  is  survived  by  one  little  daughter, 
Louise,  three  years  of  age,  and  one  sister,  Mrs.  Elizabeth  Frank, 
of  High  River,  Alberta. 

Dr.  Jack,  as  he  was  commonly  known  to  his  friends,  was  a 
man  of  splendid  intellectual  attainments  and  with  all  maintained 
a  genuine  simplicity  that  made  him  a  man  greatly  beloved  by  all 
who  knew  him.  In  his  going  it  may  be  truly  said  that  a  great  man 
has  gone,  and  that  as  a  pastor,  preacher  and  presbyter,  his  death 
is  a  distinct  loss  to  the  church.  The  sympathy  of  all,  we  feel 
sure,  is  extended  to  the  widow  and  daughter  in  their  personal 
loss,  and  to  the  church  in  its  loss  of  a  faithful  and  tender  shepherd. 

We  record  the  sad  death  of  Miss  Nannie  J.  McMillen,  '07, 
who  was  struck  and  instantly  killed  by  a  train  near  Bluefields, 
West  Virginia,  while  in  the  performance  of  her  Missionary  duties. 
After  graduating  at  Indiana,  Miss  McMillen  prepared  herself 
for  the  services  of  a  Baptist  Missionary  by  taking  the  prescribed 
course  at  one  of  the  Western  schools,  and  upon  her  graduation 
from  that  Institution  was  stationed  at  Bluefields,  where  she  had 
been  successfully  prosecuting  her  work  for  several  years.  She 
leaves  her  mother,  five  brothers,  and  six  sisters,  the  father  having 
died  some  years  ago.  She  is  remembered  as  one  of  the  bright 
and  studious  members  of  1907  at  the  Normal  School,  where  she 
made  many  friends.      Her  sudden  death  comes  as  a  great  shock 


THE  NORMAL  HERALD  TJ 

to  us  all.      The  body  was  brought  to  her  old  home  at  Plumville, 
Indiana  County,  where  interment  was  made. 

Miss  Jean  Hurley  Neff,  a  graduate  of  the  Musical  Conserva- 
tory at  Indiana  in  191  I,  died  at  Johnstown  April  27,  1917.  Miss 
Ncff  was  born  in  Clearfield  County,  but  went  to  Hastings.  Cambria 
County,  with  her  parents  when  she  was  a  child,  and  was  living 
there  when  she  became  a  student  at  Indiana.  She  also  attended 
Ann  Arbor  in  addition  to  the  musical  work  she  did  at  Indiana, 
and  studied  grand  opera  under  Oscar  Sanger  of  New  York  City. 
She  went  to  Johnstown  in  1913,  to  take  the  position  of  leading 
vocalist  in  the  First  Presbyterian  church,  and  soon  became  actively 
identified  with  the  Fortnightly  Club  and  other  musical  organiza- 
tions of  that  city.  She  conducted  a  studio  there  for  several  years 
before  her  death  and  gave  a  recital  in  Library  Hall  early  in  January. 

Miss  Neff  had  been  in  declining  health  since  last  fall,  but 
rallied  to  medical  treatment  and  engaged  in  teaching  until  a  few 
weeks  before  her  death.  For  a  week  only  before  her  death  was 
she  confined   to  her  bed. 

Short  funeral  services  were  conducted  at  the  home  of  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  John  R.  Jones,  where  she  made  her  home  in  Johnstown. 
Afterwards  the  body  was  taken  to  Hastings.  The  services  both 
in  Johnstown  and  Hastings  were  conducted  by  the  Rev.  Dr.  C.  C. 
Hays,  of  the  First  Presbyterian  church  in  Johnstown. 

Howard  Kring,  '14,  died  of  pneumonia  at  the  Allegheny 
Hospital  in  Pittsburgh,  February  28,  1917,  after  an  illness  of  only 
six  days.  Mr.  Kring  was  buried  in  Beaver  Falls.  Pa.,  where  he 
was  born  twenty-four  years  ago.  He  was  the  only  son  of  Dr. 
S.  S.  Kring,  now  of  Johnstown.  After  graduation  at  Indiana. 
Mr.  Kring  taught  for  two  years  in  Johnstown,  and  at  least  a  part 
of  that  time  was  principal  of  one  of  the  grade  schools.  He  then 
entered  the  Dental  school  of  the  University  of  Pittsburgh,  and 
soon  made  his  way  in  the  school  with  both  faculty  and  students, 
and  became  a  member  of  the  Delta  Sigma  Delta  fraternity.  Mr. 
Kring  was  known  both  at  Indiana  and  the  University  as  an  earnest

student  and  a  man  of  cheerful  disposition,  high  aims,  honest 
purpose  and  extreme  friendHness  of  spirit.  He  took  an  acceptable 
part  in  all  the  school  and  social  festivities,  and  is  greatly  missed 
among  his  friends  and  associates. 

One  of  our  earlier  students,  John  L.  Thomas,  husband  of 
Miss  Cynthia  Breniser,  '86,  died  very  suddenly  on  his  boat  in 
Billingham,  Wash.,  November  28,  1916.  He  was  making  some 
repairs  in  the  gasoline  engine  of  his  launch,  and  came  in  contact 
in  some  way  with  the  deadly  gas  from  a  leaking  valve.  He  was 
alone  at  the  time,  a  machinist  whom  he  had  called  to  help  him 
having  been  delayed  in  coming.  Mr.  Thomas  was  from  Indiana 
county  where  he  leaves  a  large  circle  of  friends  and  acquaintances 
who  feel  deeply  the  loss  of  this  good  and  useful  man. 

The  death  of  her  husband,  Mr.  G.  W.  Woodburn,  has  led 
Eva  Vanard,  '85,  to  change  her  residence,  Edgecliffe  Drive,  Los 
Angeles,  California,  where  she  spent  the  last  three  or  four  years 
of  her  husband's  life.  She  now  resides  with  her  mother  in  2077 
E.   106  Place,  Cleveland.  Ohio. 

Charles  M.  Bradley,  '14,  Professor  of  Music  at  Dubuque 
German  University,  Dubuque,  Iowa,  died  at  his  home  in  Altoona, 
on   May  22,    1917. 

Two  homes  familiar  to  many  of  our  old  students  and  teachers 
on  account  of  the  charming  hospitality  enjoyed  and  the  warm 
friendships  made  there, — the  residences  of  Judge  Silas  M.  Clark 
and  Andrew  W.  Wilson, — are  now  only  sacred  memories  to  us. 
The  Clark  residence  is  to  be  converted  into  a  memorial  hall,  the 
Wilson  home  has  been  removed  to  the  rear  of  the  First  U.  P. 
Church  and  becomes  its  parsonage.  The  passing  of  the  families 
who  for  so  many  years  gave  life  and  love  to  these  homes  is  a  grief 
to  us  at  the  Normal  School.      Both  families  are  widely  scattered; 


THE  NORMAL  HERALD

the  Clark  family  are  mostly  in  Pittsburgh,  the  Wilson  family 
mostly  in  California.  Their  going  is  an  irreparable  loss  to  the 
school  and  makes  a  deep  vacancy  in  the  best  life  of  the  town  of 
Indiana.

Commercial  Teachers'  Training  Course 

Prepares  teachers  to  teach  Commercial  Subjects 
in  High  Schools  and  Academies.  Salaries 
offered  are  very  attractiva. 

Trained  Help   Wanted 

In  the  business  world  today  there  are  no  calls 
for  the  young  man  or  young  woman  who  "can 
do  almost  anything."  The  calls  are  for  trained 
help,  for  persons  who  can  do  some  one  thing 
well.  Private  secretaries,  stenographers,  book- 
keepers and  trained  office  assistants  are  always 
in  demand,  and  they  command  excellent  sal- 
aries. The  completion  of  one  of  these  courses 
with  us  means  Life-Long  Independence.
